Holy Guacamole Batman,

You would have to pack the kids and all supplies on the hood just to drive it. Stopping should prove to interesting and no driving through hills because you would probably only get on chance to stop before yourt brakes went out :lol: :lol:

Hold on guys...He has extra duty safety chains on the tail gate. Now he should be fine. I'd put a little duct tape around the whole thing just to be sure. Oh, and definitely put the high octane gas in that V6.

I guess you wouldn't have to worry much about reclining seats in the S10 and just think of the view of the stars when driving at night... and FYI: the tags were from Utah, so beware :lol:

OMG!! The Beverly Hillbillies got themselves a trailer!

That just looks like a fatal accident waiting to happen. This could be a future Darwin Award winner!


That reminds me of a story. I used to have a full sized Bronco. An old highschool friend of mine kept after me to sell it to him, so finally I did. A few months later he tells me that a buddy of his wanted to borrow it for the day to move some "stuff", so my friend let him. Turns out his buddy wanted to move his 8 x 40 mobile home across town! He didn't tell my friend what he wanted to use it for until after he returned it.

You may as well add that one to the "strange/funny teardrops" album...

Thanks,
